Fact Check: Lawmakers Urge Trump to End Guantánamo Migrant Detention and Reject Cuba Military Action

### Evidence The Guardian reported that a letter signed by over 30 Democratic lawmakers, led by Representative Delia Ramirez, was sent to the secretaries of defense, state and homeland security, urging an end to migrant detention at Guantánamo and ruling out military action on Cuba. A separate letter led by Representative Rashida Tlaib showed 15 members raising similar concerns, supporting the broader claim.

### Verdict Mostly true.

### Analysis The Guardian’s report directly states the number exceeds 30, while the Tlaib letter confirms congressional pressure but cites only 15 signatories. No contradictory evidence appears in the provided material, but the exact count relies on a single news source, which lowers confidence.

### Evidence The Guardian reported that a top defense department official said, in March, that the Pentagon would “set up a camp” at Guantánamo Bay to handle migrants if a humanitarian crisis arose in Cuba.

### Verdict Mostly true.

### Analysis The statement aligns with the Guardian’s account of the official’s remark. No opposing evidence appears in the supplied sources, but the lack of supplementary records such as congressional transcripts or Defense Department statements reduces confidence.

### Evidence The Guardian noted that the US imposed additional sanctions last week and has repeatedly expressed a desire for potential military intervention to depose Cuba’s government.

### Verdict Mostly true.

### Analysis The claim is directly supported by the Guardian’s statement about recent sanctions. No contradictory information is present in the provided evidence, but verification depends on a single news source without independent confirmation from Treasury announcements.

Watch for any official response from the Defense, State, or Homeland Security departments, and for further congressional actions regarding Guantánamo policy or Cuba sanctions.
